you busied yourself
with the closing
and I watched
with stunning
recognition,
everything was still
and the world let
the rain
lock our eyes
into an
unfathomably wonderful
trance.
You'll join me
for politeness
but your girl
waits outside
of me.
I know of
how you live
and your
sadness
makes me cry.
the painful
kisses that
make me
realise the power
of the night
will destroy
my adoration
and keep you
at a distance.
as I expected
your love
was there
and you showed
me through
your embrace
with lips
and lingering
whispers
It's true now...
but the last
thing that
I want to do
is to tell you
that I'm
right
for you
